Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Charged (2-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)methanol (954 mg, 4.65 mmol), 4-fluoro-1-vinylbenzene (1.14 g, 9.31 mmol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (49 mg, 0.07 mmol), Et3N (942 mg, 9.31 mmol) and DMF (5 mL) to a sealed tube, the mixture was then purged with nitrogen, heated to 150° C. for 3 h in microwave oven. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was then extracted with ethyl acetate, concentrated and purified by flash column chromatograph to give 569 mg of the title compound (50%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.60 (1H, t, J=6.4 Hz), 4.78 (2H, d, J=6.4 Hz), 6.93-7.08 (4H, m), 7.31-7.35 (3H, m), 7.48-7.52 (2H, m).
